WHEN DOES THE 2026-2027 SUMMER TRANSFER WINDOW CLOSE?

News details

According to the schedule determined by the TFF, the 2026-2027 summer transfer window will close on Friday, September 4, 2026. The first transfer and registration period will start on June 22 and run until September 4. Therefore, the deadline for new additions to the squad during the summer transfer window for Süper Lig teams will be September 4, 2026.

The answer to football fans' question, "On which date in September does the transfer window close?" has been revealed. In Turkey, the summer transfer window for the 2026-2027 season will end on Friday, September 4. The TFF officially announced the dates in the transfer and registration schedule published before the season began. Accordingly, clubs will complete their transfer transactions within the specified period.

After the summer transfer window closes, clubs will start waiting for the winter transfer window. According to the TFF's official calendar, the second transfer and registration period of the 2026-2027 season will begin on Friday, January 1, 2027. The winter transfer window will close on February 5, 2027.

For Trendyol Süper Lig clubs, the final day of the summer transfer window is Friday, September 4, 2026. Clubs continuing their transfer activity will be required to complete the necessary contract and registration procedures by this date. Especially in the final days of the transfer window, negotiations between clubs are expected to accelerate, with some transfers announced in the final hours.

The deadline for the transfer window in Turkey is not the same as in Europe's top leagues. In the 2026 summer transfer window, the window closed earlier than in Turkey in major football nations such as England, Spain, Italy, Germany, and France. This situation can give rise to different scenarios regarding player transfers to Turkey after the transfer window in Europe closes. However, for Turkish clubs, the official schedule set by the TFF is taken as the basis.

CAN TRANSFERS BE MADE AFTER THE TRANSFER WINDOW CLOSES?

Under normal circumstances, after the transfer window closes, it is not possible for clubs to sign and register new players. However, there are FIFA, UEFA, and TFF regulations regarding player status, free agents, and special circumstances. Therefore, the end of the transfer window does not mean that player movement stops completely in all cases. Relevant instructions and TFF decisions must be taken into account for actions that clubs can take in specific situations.
